aStandardized coefficients are shown; stepwise linear regression models with changes in pain disability (PDQ) as dependent variables and three pre-post predicting factors: depression (PHQ9), acceptable level of pain, and pain catastrophizing (PCS); PHQ9 = Patient Health Questionnaire; PCS = Pain Catastrophizing Scale; PDQ = Pain Disability Questionnaire; &numeric rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).
